Flights to Brest
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Brest is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Brest International Airport (BQT), 12 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,596 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brest International Airport | BQT | 12 km (7 mi) | 8,596 ft | 468 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,596 ft, BQT handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 468 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
